How to insert and display long sentenses (256 characters long)

Question

I have a page where users can insert about them. I don't want them to enter more than 256 characters.

At present I am using a text box with multiline, but I can't use range validator. It is not working with it.

What should I use to receive the sentence with 256 characters length?

In order to display I am using a literal. But, it is displaying the sentence from one end of the site to the other end of the site.

I want it to be display in a small paragraph. So what should I use to display the sentence in a paragraph?

Thanks,

you can do this in diff way either you can use the MaxLenght property of textbox to 256 so user cannot enter more than 256 words or else you can write on javascript function at onblur for textbox if value in the textbox is more than 256 then you can display the Messagebox so as per your requirement you can do that. i hope you got what i am tring to say. Regards.
